Routed for and installed a battery box in the back of my Fender Jazz Special Bass.
The guy I got it from many years ago replaced the stock bridge with a BaddAss and the stock pickups with EMGs, but just shoved the 9V in the control cavity where it really doesn't fit and it's a PITA to get a new one in.
I've also ordered a TRS jack so that I can wire it so the battery gets disconnected when the cable isn't plugged in.
I really like this bass: P-bass body, J-bass neck, P/J pickups.
Edit:
Also, apparently this bass was popularized by Duff McKagan... I'm not really a Guns fan but I get why he liked them.
Don't know the exact year - 84-87, MIJ (Fujigen).

practiced sweeps with metronome low bpm ( felt like a slow death ) lol
then learned new riffs... ( metllica) surprise surprise...
then i got tired and put on playlist and Iced earth came on Travel in Stygian.... i covered this song long time ago and since i was holding a guitar i had a go again to see if i remembered it.... once i started playing i realised what a hard work is this song especially for right hand.
anyway here is little clip from that jam.

I finally plugged in that Kurzweil my dad gave me, it's not working. 
When I get some motivation I'll read the manual, it could be a MIDI related issue and navigating that front panel is.....lordy.
But I figured after going through the trouble of setting up a new MIDI keyboard and plugging a bunch of shit in, I'd plug in my Triton rack and that's working great! The synth lead sound from Dream Theater's "Lines In The Sand" is one of the presets (minus the ribbon controller on my MIDI controller) and it's a fucking blast.
I wrote a tune a couple years ago that I never posted, based off a melody that fell out one day. I arranged it to have vocals but it sucks, so today I'm going to turn it into an instrumental guitar tune, or try to anyway. As much as I listened to instrumental guitar albums growing up, I've yet to write a single instrumental song.

Apparently you all have done more than me the last few days. I've been a lazy ass.
Me too. I've been recovering from bronchitis and while I've felt a lot better for a few days I've also been a lazy bastard. Things achieved = 0

Sorry to hear, that stuff sucks!
My brother has walking pneumonia too. A lot is going around right now.

Cheers dude. First time I've caught anything like this in three years. Sorry to hear about your brother, that's what I had three years ago and it was horrible. Hung around for ages too.

Thanks. Yeah I've had bronchitis once years ago and it stuck around forever. Hated it. I don't usually get sick like that, it's normally stomach related issues if anything. Although Christmas break I caught something and was just run down with sinus headaches all week.

Wind cries Mary… I want to learn more Hendrix songs but they scare me a bit too be honest.
It sometimes difficult to pick a song. Because the first trials so to speak are always shitty. But after a week or so things start to flow and go better. But sometimes a song or a riff is just too difficult for now. So how to pick? I think it would be really beneficial for me to just pick Hendrix as a 2025 project. If I take 2 months for 1 song, I have learned 5 new songs in a year and all those techniques related to it. Instead of floating around trying all kinds of songs.
Okay besides that I messed up and decided to try the JMT45. But went back quickly to the Super Reverb. I added a double cab with the 20 watt Marshalls and I just love that combination. I turned the drive up to 8 and volume in guitar at 8/9 and I have this wonderful break up now while the tone is still clean.
